Staff Accountant



Financial Reporting & Analysis


Role Overview
We're seeking a Staff Accountant to support core accounting, reporting, and analysis activities within a collaborative and fast‑paced finance team. This role is ideal for someone with a solid grounding in debits and credits, strong Excel skills, and an interest in expanding into data analysis and modern reporting tools. You'll gain exposure to a broad range of accounting responsibilities, work closely with business partners, and develop skills beyond traditional close work. The environment is supportive, team‑oriented, and offers meaningful variety day‑to‑day.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist with month‑end close and financial reporting activities
  • Prepare and post journal entries across balance sheet and income statement accounts
  • Perform bank and general ledger reconciliations
  • Maintain fixed asset and depreciation schedules
  • Prepare and support filing of select business tax returns (e.g., sales & use, business privilege, personal property), ensuring accuracy and compliance
  • Complete balance sheet reconciliations, including prepaid expenses and accruals
  • Perform financial statement variance analysis and provide explanations
  • Support forecasting and plan vs. actual analysis
  • Prepare and analyze profit & loss statements for assigned business units or regions and respond to management inquiries
  • Assist with internal and external audit requests
  • Collaborate with business stakeholders on ad‑hoc analysis and reporting needs


What We're Looking For

  • 2 years of accounting experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting (or Business with a strong accounting concentration)
  • Strong understanding of core accounting principles (debits & credits)
  • High proficiency in Excel, including pivot tables and lookups
  • Detail‑oriented, organized, and able to manage deadlines effectively
  • Strong time‑management skills and a positive, team‑first attitude
  • Exposure to or interest in modern reporting and analytics tools (e.g., Power BI, Alteryx, similar platforms)
  • Comfortable interacting with business partners and explaining financial results


Nice to Have

  • Background in large, complex organizations or service‑driven environments
  • Interest in blending accounting and analysis rather than a pure close‑only role
  • Curiosity around systems, process improvement, and data visualization


Why This Role

  • Supportive, collaborative team environment
  • Diverse responsibilities beyond traditional accounting tasks
  • Exposure to business leaders and cross‑functional partners
